Wardrobe Remix #19

One of my friends got me this shirt from the kids section at Bayo. I'm a size 14 in kids :) The challenge was to make it look more "grown up". Solution: add something tight and white + heels :)

Shirt: Bayo Kids

Pants: Shapes

Shoes: Joan & David

Bag: Old Navy

I'm crazy about the texture of this bag. It's super soft and I love how the shape accomodates just about anything...

Nobody wears espadrilles anymore, except me! They are just too comfortable...

At first glance I didn't know if it was a top or a dress (too long to be a shirt, looked too much like a top to be a dress). I still don't know what it is, let's just call it a shirtdress. It might be a little short to be worn alone though, maybe next time I'll pair it with tights or leggings.

Tube top: People R People

Shirtdress: Old Navy

Boots: Otto

Bag: B. Makowsky

Watch: Fossil

One of my favorite bags, I only bust it out on special occasions though...

They had a buy one, get one sale at Otto so I got this in black too. I like how the heel is hidden inside - gives me the illusion of being taller while wearing "flats" :) Sneaky...

Wardrobe Remix #17

Yes, you CAN wear shorts to work! As long as it's not that short :)

Shirt: Kamiseta

Shorts: Ann Taylor Loft

Shoes: Steve Madden

Laptop Bag: Sumdex

Blazer: H&M

Everyone should have a black blazer. Seriously.

I like the terra cotta/burnt orange color of this bag. Plus it has quite a few pockets for other electronic accessories...

Wardrobe Remix #16

Built the outfit around the scarf... Pretty basic color scheme here - green, white and blue.

T-shirt: Gap

Skirt: H&M

Scarf: Old Navy

Shoes: Franco Sarto

Bag: American Eagle

This is how I drape my scarves 90% of the time. Keeps my neck warm + looks quite stylish with zero effort.

Up close it looks like cheesecloth :)

My "cork" shoes... Love them to bits!

Wardrobe Remix #15

My "bum" outfit. Basically, I randomly picked a few things for this wardrobe remix just to see if they would go together. Well, it's decent enough I think...

Top: People R People

Miniskirt: Le Tigre

Shoes: J-41

Bag: Artwork

Watch: Baby-G

This is an old hoodie shirt that I have worn dozens of times. It already has some discoloration/stain in the back but I'm not throwing it away because I like the print...

Another old timepiece (note the scuff marks and scratches). I wear this a lot, it's really light I don't even feel it's there most of the time.

Wardrobe Remix #14

My mood is not so good today, feeling bloated and crampy because it's that time of the month again. So, depressing black and gray seem to mirror the pained expression on my face :(

Shirt: Zara

Pullover: Julie's Closet

Miniskirt: American Eagle

Shoes: Arturo Chiang

Bag: Via Spiga

Got this bag at a bargain. I like how it's so sturdy, can hold a ton of stuff and water resistant :) Perfect for rainy days when you don't want to risk your other nice, more expensive bags...

Wardrobe Remix #13

I honestly don't know the point I was making with this outfit, I just threw some things on. If you find it baduy, it's ok, I dress for myself anyway :)

Tank top: Passport

Vest: H&M

Shorts: Lost Girl

Shoes: Steve Madden

Bag: ?

I love this pleather bag, I have no idea who makes it, it has no brand. But still, I love the pockets, love the handles, love the color, love everything about it!

Wardrobe Remix #12

Another boring office outfit. This jersey dress was given to me by a friend, I really like that it doesn't wrinkle.

Dress: Allen B. by Allen Schwartz

Cardigan: J. Crew

Shoes: Tahari

Bag: Abbi

Watch: Fossil

Neckline detail, makes the dress not boring.

This is my favorite laptop bag from Abbi. Perfect fit for my mac...

Wardrobe Remix #11

I fell in love with the funky print of this maxi dress and the braided straps are so cute! It's a great shopping dress coz you just slip it on - no zippers, no tight spaces, no stress! Plus, if you decide to pig out on dinner afterward you won't have to worry about your bulging tummy :)

Dress: City Triangles

Sandals: Ann Taylor Loft

Bag: Kenneth Cole

I encourage anyone to try out a maxi dress, even if you're not blessed with height (like me) you can always find a flattering cut or print...

Cheap cuff.

Old shoes - still alive!

Wardrobe Remix #10

Ok, I was totally uninspired with this getup, although this is one of my favorite dresses. But ::yawns:: this is boring, I know...

Dress: Laundry by Design

Shoes: BCBGirls

Bag: Barr + Barr

Watch: Guess

Pockets!!! I go crazy about pockets :)

This hobo bag is so pretty inside plus the leather is buttery soft :) There's another Barr + Barr bag I want to get but not right now.

Wardrobe Remix #9

The requisite boring office outfit. You can never go wrong with blue and white! And by the way, I like the collar of this shirt.

Shirt: Plains & Prints

Pants: Ann Taylor

Shoes: Etienne Aigner

Bag: Tommy Hilfiger

Watch: Guess

I got this bag really cheap and I love how it has lots of pockets on the outside. I'm a pocket person, I love having nooks to stuff things in!

Wardrobe Remix #8

This is my confused outfit - although I see lots of girls sporting a similar look. I guess I can't decide whether to dress for cold or warm weather hence the cardigan-shorts-boots combination :) Also, pardon the doe in the headlights face, I wasn't prepared...

Tank top: Michael Stars

Cardigan: Gap

Shorts: Kamiseta

Boots: Jessica Simpson

Bag: Sisley

I got this cuff in Boracay early this year. I got it for Php 300, the lady was originally offering me Php 500 for it. Ahhh, the power of haggling...

Really old red Sisley bag. I love how I can carry this either on the crook of my arm, on my shoulder or across the body like a messenger bag - so versatile!

Wardrobe Remix #7

I kind of regret buying these tapered pants, they're a little bit loose on me even though they are size 0. I was hoping for an Audrey Hepburn look but alas it is not meant to be :)

Shirt: Banana Republic

Pants: Gap

Shoes: Tahari

Bag: Sisley

I love this bag for overnighters or if I have extra stuff to carry around. It's also light enough to carry on shopping trips to put purchases in, I cannot stress how I hate carrying plastic bags...

Wardrobe Remix #6

While browsing along some shops in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico, I happened upon The Magic Wrap. It's basically a skirt you can wear many, many different ways...
